Crathes Castle Woodlands and Gardens

Autumn 2012

Crathes Castle sits in extensive wooded grounds on an estate on Royal Deeside, just 12 miles inland from the city of Aberdeen. There are a number of waymarked trails through the woodland, which can provide several hours of pleasant walking. You can also explore the castle and its formal gardens.
